Books about Malling from Amazon.com

Terns are elegant sea and marshland birds that live throughout the world. In Europe and North America a total of twenty-three species is represented, all of which are dealt with in this book. The variations among the species and their subspecies is great, and identification is therefore often highly problematic. Terns are long-distance migrants and can be seen regularly on passage between their normal breeding and wintering areas.

Klaus Malling Olsen devotes much attention to the immature and winter plumages of these birds, which are generally inadequately described in most other field guides, while he also deals in depth with the problems of moult, species, and subspecies. The text covers the bird in the field, moult, and the bird in the hand. The author concludes each species account with extensive data on measurements and weight and an itemized key to identification. The text is accompanied by over forty color plates, which have been specially prepared for this guide by the talented Swedish bird artist Hans Larsson. The book is completed with a forty-eight-page representative photographic section..

Raymond Chandler called it The Simple Art of Murder, a misleading title. It never has been simple to write mysteries But it is an art, and often the crimes investigated are rooted in the worlds of art, architecture, and antiquities

Where there is creativity, there is passion Where there is a legacy, there is rivalry. Where there are masterpieces or valuables, there is big money. And where there is big money, there’s greed, there’s envy, there’s scandal… It’s murder. Where better to place a mystery?

Follow the money! the history! the story! Authors Nevada Barr, Roy Berkeley, Philip R. Craig, Aaron Elkins, Nicholas Kilmer, Sharyn McCrumb, Keith Miles, and Elizabeth Peters do just that into worlds given their own unique spin: uncharted treasures of our national parks; highlights of a spy’s London; the timeless world of an island paradise; masterpieces of Europe’s great museums; the dark world of art dealers; the glories of Celtic homelands and Appalachian mountains; the Arizona desert transformed by the skills of Frank Lloyd Wright; ancient Egyptian tombs explored by an archaeologist who takes to crime....Bookseller Barbara Peters adds her memoirs of a trip to modern China.

And a bonus! A splendid bibliography of “artful” murders compiled by Yale University librarian [ret.] Louis Silverstein..
